Brains Development / Re: Mach with Brains, smart enough for closed loop?

« on: October 10, 2007, 09:06:59 PM »

I would think the question is how fast is the brains logic. Will it compare positions and stop the axis fast enough to save the part. I would think yes. Second question is can a reliable encoder be setup on a second parralel port. I would think yes again. About the feed rate. I would ask why change the feedrate if your axis position is off. I would think at that point you would want to stop and rehome sence your never going to get the position error back. Just my two cents.

I had good success with mine. I just need more IO than the pod offers. Email carl at OEM to find the status of the board.

I would check it with a scope just to be sure its clean DC. Otherwise I think it should work.

It seems OEM has posted the firmware 2018 on there site. I believe this is the firmware to be used with the newest NCpod plugin, version 2.00.055

Thanks for the update. Can anyone tell us what things are different with this plugin. Any updates for homeing, jogging, or probing?
